A brave man could think. A coward couldnt.
Bifurcated his mind (thoughts)
Annie darkened a little, but he saw at once that she was not
darkening at him - the survival instinct, he was discovering, might
be only instinct in itself, but it created some really amazing
shortcuts to empathy. (Paul becoming more attuned to Annies
moods and cycles.)
Ironically, something that Paul believes only he is reserved to in his
world of imagination in writing, the Can you game, is nevertheless
manifested in real form by Annie, in the way she deduces and
eliminates trails of evidence.
This was last winter Miss Wilkes, how could you be so positive? If
you saw Elvis Presley last winter, would you remember seeing him?

Well what does that have to do with the price of fish or the price of
coffee in Borneo?
(Fahrenheit 451)
Cream them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned
full of facts they feel stuffed, but absolutely brilliant with
information (state capitals, popular song names, how much corn
was grown). Then theyll feel theyre thinking, theyll get a sense of
motion without moving.
(Lewis Carroll)
Interesting how the creativity and lateral events occurring within the
novels are based on misconceptions of social norms and languages
meaning. In essence, Carroll is subtly pointing out the myriad of
rules that we conform to and learn the appropriate usage of words
and phrases. Perhaps as a teaching device to Alice in itself, he
attempts to strike down the barriers that often obstruct our ability to
conceptualise the world as a free medium of unlimited potential.
In addition, it is Alice who embodies the traits of her own world,
which can often be mirrored by those deemed to be ignorant and
uninspiring during their time. It is only by seeing an outsider, such
as Alice, and their provocative way of observing the world, through
which we recognise as true creativity and subsequently celebrate.
In the looking glass, we see everything as backwards-lapsing
events, to replicate the effect of a mirror. Of course, there are
backwards poems but at the same time we have reverse chronology
in events. Eg. Sentencing before crime. While the Looking Glass is
not as seamless as the original, and not as original due to its
existing structure and reference to existing poems, it is still a fine
rendition of Carrolls imagination.
